Do I need Probate?
This depends on the assets the deceased person owned, their value and whether they owned them jointly with another person or in their sole name. A person’s estate needs to be "probated" to enable an executor, or personal representative, to settle financial affairs and distribute the estate to the right heirs.
At The Probate Bureau we understand that dealing with a loved one’s estate can be an emotional, confusing and stressful task. We aim to save families time, stress and money at such a difficult time. We offer a full probate administration service, as well as inheritance tax advice and guidance in an ever-growing complex legal process.
Call our freephone Helpline on 0800 028 2837 where our friendly team are on hand to help.
Do you have a Lasting Power of Attorney? Do you need one?
You may assume, if you’re married or in a civil partnership, that your spouse would automatically be able to deal with your bank account and pensions, and make decisions about your healthcare, if you lose the ability to do so. However, this is not the case!
At The Probate Bureau we can give you full information and advice. We offer a no obligation consultation to discuss your personal situation. Please call 01920 443590
New research from the Resolution Foundation reveals that the value of inherited wealth handed down to younger generations is set to double over the next two decades.
The report indicates that the offspring of “baby boomer” generation parents will see a 100% increase in inherited wealth due to rapidly increasing house prices and more frequent use of tax-avoidance tactics such as early gifting.
The latest ONS figures show that gifting amounts have climbed dramatically up from £9.2bn in 2007 to £12bn in 2017, revealing that many are choosing to make use of gifting allowances earlier in life. With the continued rise in house prices and the Government’s decision to cap the IHT threshold at £325,000 until 2026, more estates are expected to be liable to pay inheritance tax. The report shows that 12% of adults believe they would be liable for the tax and therefore plan to gift early to avoid hefty tax bills for beneficiaries.
Here at The Probate Bureau, we are on hand to offer professional advice to maximise your estate for your family. Call us on 0800 028 2837.
As 2021 concludes, we reflect on the continuing changes to our lives that we have all faced. Our customers have encountered extra heartache with their loss, adjusting to the new rules the pandemic brought with it.

Do you know what a Lasting Power of Attorney is ?
Do you know what would happen if you can no longer manage your financial affairs, pay your bills, deal with your bank accounts?
Or, who will make the right decisions about your medical care or treatments and arrange your care if you lose mental capacity or can no longer cope?
A Lasting Power of Attorney will ensure if you do lose capacity, your affairs can be looked after by someone you know and trust.
We would love to help you and guide you through, to make sure you have the right Lasting Powers of Attorney in place.
